Any finders about! My phone has disappeared into thin air

I've seen MNers in the past who can find things with their amazing psychic finding abilities. I'm desperate for help!

My phone has disappeared in my flat. Only me and toddler have been here. No windows or doors or post boxes in reaching distance for him. I've emptied everything, checked within and under everything. I'm absolutely flummoxed.

I regularly 'lose' mine while I'm on a call to someone... you've just written this post on it, haven't you...
or it's on the top of the loo roll holder by the loo.

Have you got a iPhone? You can do find my phone from a laptop

ChessieFL · 19/08/2022 12:12

Sounds obvious but have you tried ringing it (if you have another phone - or get a neighbour to try)

If you have a Gmail account you can also do a find your phone and make it ring, even if on silent.

HomerDancing · 19/08/2022 12:13

From a laptop I should have said.

Dustnbones · 19/08/2022 12:13

Have you checked the bins?

Throwawaytoday · 19/08/2022 12:14

On top of the washing machine. That's where mine always ends up.

In the bin
DD posted mine OUT of the door once

Mine was under the table runner on the dining table once, I'd pulled the whole house apart and it was only when I placed something on top of it later on and I heard the noise that I found it.

Hobele · 19/08/2022 12:58

Mine fell in the loo from my back pocket.

MuffinMcLayLikeABundleOfHay · 19/08/2022 13:03

In a child's tiny handbag.

AlisonDonut · 19/08/2022 13:06

Where do you last remember usingi it. I find if I visualise that, I realise where I left it.

LondonQueen · 19/08/2022 13:07

Has it definitely come in the house? I have left mine in the car more times than I care to admit and turn the house upside down every time!

roarfeckingroarr · 19/08/2022 13:08

@HomerDancing how do you do that from gmail?

I've tried to ping from my Apple Watch and tried to find from my iPad but no luck at all as it's not connected to the internet

Folded into the hood of the buggy

happystory · 19/08/2022 13:12

Behind a radiator? Toddlers like posting stuff!

sleepymum50 · 19/08/2022 13:14

Inside the duvet cover/pillow case on your bed.

Posted into the dvd player

HomerDancing · 19/08/2022 13:15

I don't know how to tag

This is the link (I hope) to ring your phone through your Google account

www.google.com/android/find

HomerDancing · 19/08/2022 13:17

I think it will have to be connected to the internet too ? But worth a try.

Hope you find it !

Bigpinkslippers · 19/08/2022 13:20

From past toddler experience either in the washing machine or behind the telly

TheHideAndSeekingHill · 19/08/2022 13:20

Have you been putting anything away? I have previously "hidden" mine both on top of under-bed storage boxes, and on top of a wardrobe.
